This week, Nancy Merrill’s topic for the Photo A Week Challenge is bridges. My daughter always had a horror of crossing bridges, especially in a car, and would close her eyes tightly if we were going over an especially long one. I don’t know how she manages, now that she’s a mom who has to do all the driving. I imagine it’s still a white-knuckle experience but hopefully she keeps her eyes open. It isn’t always easy to plan a trip without crossing some kind of bridge or other. Rather like life, you cross that bridge when you come to it.
The Serpentine and Zigzag bridges at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Crossing the Mississippi River in Cairo, Illinois.
A bridge across the train tracks in Milwaukee, part of the Hank Aaron State Trail in Wisconsin.
Crossing the mighty Mackinac Bridge in Michigan.

Getting the Picture 
What beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by and commenting. It was much appreciated.
Love these, and especially the serpentine bridge with the willow foliage bending into the curve as well.. the overall effect is so wavy it makes me feel like I’m standing on a boat deck in a rolling swell! I just love the shot and I’ve never seen anything quite like it! 🙂
Thank you! I always love walking over the serpentine bridge especially in the summer when you can see all the huge fish circling underneath in the shadows.
Did you take the picture of the Mackinac in your car. It’s a great photo.
Thanks, Chris! Yes, we drove over the Mackinac a couple of times and I was hoping for a clear road so that we could go really slowly but there always seemed to be a fair amount of traffic.
